I agree with all those that think that a request like http://myservice/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&; should return the highest supported version of WMS on that server (currently 1.3.0 but in the near? future 1.4.0 and then 2.0.0...). This is the expected behaviour according the to the WMS specifications (indeed most OGC services I think), so it feels a bit wrong to deliberately go against it (so much for standards).
Supplying the optional version number http://myservice/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.1.1&; doesn't actually guarantee a response in that version either, it's just a preference in the opening negotiation; it only should be honoured if the server can support that version.
